Brad Ottens is now officially the biggest DUD in the AFL, he has overtaken Mark Bolton and of course former AFL player A.Hennemen. Ottens is a waste of money and space for Geelong, a big fella like him should be instilling confidence in the team but instead his lack of performance is the start of the cancer that is infecting his team. Yes i do blame Ottens, we have all played in teams where a big forward never delivers and it hurts you everywhere. DITCH HIM THOMMO

He's a ruckman, and a good one, who can play forward a bit. Anyone could see that. Whoever decided to recruit him as the key forward saviour has a lot to answer for.

HE IS A DUD RUCKMAN AND A DUD FORWARD, bet Geelong would love to get Maloney back for him, i mean what trade value is he now? Geelong are better off playing Mooney, N.Ablett and Playfair on there forward line at least the three of them are some chance of taking a mark.

No credit for the defender who didn't give him an inch and was always there to spoil the ball?

I think our poor passing to Ottens had a little to do with it as well.

I agree with whoever said Ottens is a ruckman, not a forward. Our forward line certainly seemed to function better yesterday when he wasn't there. Sure, let him have a breather down there for 5-10min a quarter, but don't play him down there all the time.

Pretty Hard for him to make an impact when
A) If it wasn't bombed into the forward line it was at his shoe laces
B) Due to us bombing it in, The Dogs had a player coming over the top easy pickings
C) Wight was excellent on him, his not so subtle holds were enough to convince the umpire he was't ;)
